classical godsa sharing personal stories with a global audience. our ministers had no idea what happening on the shop floor, but i could see the body bag explore and abundance of world class programming climate change. medical. it's an issue of survival on al jazeera. ah, you as president joe biden maids, pope francis sat the vatican ahead of the g. 20 summit as world latest sake to find a common ground on climate change. i or this is climate protest is gather in cities around the world, demanding more urgent action from leaders. ah, hello, i'm emily anglin. this is al jazeera alive from doha. also coming up the u. k.

threatens to board french boats while paris again warns of sanctions in a growing dispute about fishing rides and a hard wake on the road. another large group of migrants heads through mexico towards the u. s. border. ah hello, welcome to the program. we begin in raw and where the u. s. president has met italian leaders and the french president a manual mccomb earlier. joe biden visited the vatican and pro polk francis. it's believed the laden's discussed the climate crisis and ways to end the corona virus pandemic. that talks com, my head of the start of the g. 20 summit in rom, after the today gathering at bottom will head to glasgow for the cop 26 un climate summit. our white house correspondent, kimberly hallett is live for us in rome. kimberly, i want to get to the meeting between at president joe biden and manuel mc chrome.

but 1st, let's talk about what's happened today in that very busy agenda. yeah, a lot took place. not only was that the meeting with the french president that we'll talk about in a moment. there were also meetings with the italian president and prime minister, respectively and as well all eyes early in the day on the meeting between the u. s . president and pope francis at the vatican. now the u. s. president has since talked about that meeting since he left it saying that it went very wonderfully. he said there was laughter and it was very clear to the media watching that in fact, there was a very warm report. now we do know that there is an exchange of gifts. we also know that, well, they didn't talk specifically about their differences, namely abortion and their stance on whether or not this is okay. well what we do know is that the pope did say that the president should continue to receive communion. that's significant because back in the united states there is

a debate about whether the catholic president should continue to receive communion, given his stance on abortion, he is pro choice at the catholic church in the united states. and of course pope pratt, fred says pro life so or pro, they are opposed to abortion is i guess the way you would say it. so this is really a difficult issue for the u. s. president what he wrestles with given the fact that he is a devout catholic. but making headlines back in the united states is the fact that he has been told he can continue to receive communion. so this was one of the issues that was sort of brought up, but at the same time, the real focus was how they could combat climate change. and the u. s. president thanking the po for his efforts in that regard, particularly when it comes to affecting those disproportionately who are in the working class and the disenfranchised. and kimberly, we've just seen some vision there of president manuel mccaul and joe biden making.

we know this has been quite a tense time, diplomatically full them boys. can you give us a context as to what's happened in the late up to this making and what the 2 men discussed here? very briefly, the background on this is that the united states formed along with the u. k. and australia security group known as august and as part of that group was the selling of technology of nuclear powered submarines and left behind was a deal that france instruct to sell australia diesel power submarine. so obviously costly, but what was even more upsetting to the french is the fact that this security group normally left them out, but negotiated and came together in secret. and this was a real slap in the face, according to the french president emanuel macro. well, since then, they have talked in the telephone, this was there for a face to face meeting where the u. s. president acknowledged his mistake, saying that the united states with clumsy in terms of what they did and that they

believed that france is a valued partner. now, in terms of moving forward, the to acknowledge that there are key areas where there can still be a relationship, particularly given francis strengths in the indo pacific region. this is something that united states has said is a priority in terms of security. and the 2 are moving forward, donnelly, to try and establish trust, but also confidence as they continue to seek opportunities to work together and bolster the security. not just in that region, but of europe as well. thank you for the update at what has correspondent kimberly held could live for us in rome. thank you for that update. the un secretary general has warned world late as they must adopt more realistic goals to tackle the climate crisis at the upcoming glasgow gathering. and tanya gutierrez says, the cup 26 summit is a pivotal moment for the world and diplomatic editor james bates, reports from wrong. while the un secretary general has been speaking as protest,

those have been protesting here in rome, across italy, and around the world. the secretary general has been sounding increasingly pessimistic in recent months about the prospects for the global climate summit. what warning repeatedly, raising the alarm that time was running out. well, where are we now? we're just at the eve of the g. 20. it was deliberately time the g 20 should come immediately before that conference in glasgow that starts on monday. the secretary general saying that this is a pivotal moment for our planet. and he's saying that all roads. busy to success in the conference in gloves. go come through rome, but he's not at all sounding optimistic. let's be clear. there is a serious risk. the glasgow will not deliver several recent climates announcements might leave the impression of a rosy picture. and fortunately, these is an illusion,

the current national determined contributions. furthermore, commitments by governments still condemned the world to a calamity. 2.7 degree increase even if recent pledges were clear and credible. and there are serious questions about some of them. we are still good evening towards climate catastrophe. while if that sounds negative, i can tell you what i've been told off the record by senior un source who didn't want to be named. and that's the pre some negotiations that take place then known as the sherpas, the invoice of different leaders. they've been extremely difficult. i'm told on cobra 1900 vaccinations, perhaps some positive movement there. but on the key issue of climate really absolutely no progress so far. and i think they're going to continue negotiating the sector general, making it quite clear that it's absolutely vital what that what the g 20 does here,

if there's going to be a success in glasgow. another complication of all of this. this was supposed to be the 1st g 20 meeting after the pandemic, with everyone meeting face to face. and when you get the world leaders together on climate, but also on issues like i've got to stop and sit on around the table, that's when they hope to solve problems. they're not all going to be here though. japan's prime minister is not attending because of an election, but most importantly, i think you got president, she of china and president putin, of russia who are not going to be in either rome or gloves. go. and they're attending this g 20 remotely. ok, let's take a look at some of those protests james mentioned. the swedish activist graded turnbook has joined the march in london. there was a coyote crowd around her as she arrived demonstrators and marching between major bang was described as the largest climate finance protests in history. meanwhile, large crowds of also gathered in television, robin square, a student organization called green course. his leading the much is there,

along with a number of environmental buddy and in paris, protest is denouncing the financial funding of french multi national oil company. total. the firm has been accused of downplaying, the climate risk from fossil fuels for decades. to other world news now in poland, senate has voted to build a wall along its border with bell roof to prevent migrants from entering illegally in the past 2 months, thousands of people have attempted to cross to enter the european union. so will, will be 100 kilometers long and will cost around $400000000.00. the bill will be passed to the president who's promised to sign us in the coming, dank the u. k is threatening greater checks on all a vessels fishing in its waters. if france goes ahead with a series of proposed sanctions, the escalating dispute is linked to a post fishing agreement. paris is threatening sanctions if the u. k. doesn't grant

more licenses to french fishermen? the british government meanwhile says if those actions are implemented, it would put you in breach of a trade agreement for a u. k. perspective. let's cross to poll brennan, who fall this report from london. the tension continues and it's kind of spreading as well. there's also i detect some red faces on the british side. let me explain why. basically, this english british scholar dredge was stopped by the french authorities because it was said that it didn't have the proper paperwork to be fishing in the area that it was the operator of the boat at mcduff shellfish said this far as i was concerned, they thought they didn't have the right paperwork. george eustace, the environment secretary, the the government minister said in the commons in the parliament on thursday that he did believe it had the right paperwork and it had a license, but they were reported. it subsequently been removed from the list of approved

birch and today mac shellfish. the operator, the boat now seemed to be admitting that the vessel had slipped off the list of approved boats to be fishing in that area because of a clerical error on the u. k. side, now apparently deaf for the departments involved is frantically trying to get to the bottom of this, but it could appear that it's actually the case problem. and that's why this boat has been impounded by the french because of a clerical error by the british. nevertheless, the british crying foul because they believe that the 0 tolerance enforcement that the friendships have begun as a result of the escalation of tensions over fishing rights around jersey and the u . k. channel islands. the 0 tolerance is in itself an intimidation tactic by the french. how this is all going to calm down is not clear yet. france, meanwhile, has seized a british vessel. it says, was fishing illegally, and the captain has been ordered to appear in court. alexia bryan has more mat from

paris. the british captain has been summoned to appear in court in august next year . he's accused of fishing and french waters without a license. he had on board about 2 tons of scallops. when his boat was checked and seized, taken to the french port of the half earlier this week. now those checks were part of this escalating route between the u. k and france over the rights to fish and british waters and particularly waters around the island of jersey. a u. k. crown dependency that lies just 22 kilometers of the french coast. francis wasn't given the licenses it deserves and that it expected under the post bricks at trade deal. and that has got it incredibly frustrated. so on tuesday is it said it will unveil what it's calling targeted measures. if it doesn't get the license, it licenses it wants, it said that it will stop british vessels from docking and french ports that it will stay pop chicks, time consuming health and a health and safety chicks on trucks going in and out of the u. k. and that could

have an impact on shops like the one behind me, because france is the gate white to europe for all of those british fishing vessels and the fish that they try to sell it to the continent. there are lots of measures underway to try and prevent that happening, including possibly will think of a brush half meeting in rome. the sunday on the sidelines at the g. 20 meeting between president emmanuel mccall and the u. k. prime minister boris johnson. now both sides are being accused of ramping up the tension to play to a domestic audience. president mccall will be standing for reelection in april next year. and the votes from those c side towns we're fishing, is a lifeline. could be crucial to his re election. still ahead on al jazeera kidnappings. on the rising, hazy, we hear from a teenage girl who was snatched off the street as she walked and from school and why the increased use of hydropower in georgia is threatening a species of fish that lived alongside the dinosaurs.

a little of and some of them were tired, but the children even more so one is ill. she's got sores, they've all got irritated skin. it must be the sun and the change in the temperature. like most people in the caravan, the martinez is have come from central america on today. in their case 15 people, 3 generations of their family have fled. later they'll tell us why. like many of this, they arrived quickly at the mexican city of tampa, tula hoping to then travel through the country to the states, but authorities confined them there for months. now they've managed to get out. we will little they can carry these bags, contain all of elvin martinez, is his wife and free children's possessions perched on a rickety buggy girl gas. thou, i'm our. 6 m, i reckon wheels might give out at some point today during the walk. i'm right now,

this is everything that you have in the world. pretty much. no ali test all lock it in in soon enough. it's time to head off. the group started before dawn to avoid the south metzger peak. the only sound a little chatter and the children who can't take it anymore. and despite long lines of calls and taxes to the side of them, no one's going to give them a ride. the mexican government plan this time round seems to be to let people advance but only on foot. and they've set up checkpoints like this one daily ahead of the caravan to make sure that cars, buses, taxi's aunt picking migrants up. and that way round the migrants in the caravans quickly getting worn down and they still a couple of months walked from mexico city, the caravans official stopping point 6 months at the current rate from the us,

where many want to eventually get to the martinez family are already on the verge of giving up, but one thing stops them. now we have nothing back home. we sold everything. and what's more, we can't go back. my husband had problems with extortion because he's a taxi driver and my son to because he didn't want to join the gangs. and those that don't join can be killed when it led on leslie to other memories of his son. she says was so precious by the gangs to join that he took his own life. and the whole time in my daniel, my son killed himself when he was 20. i mean your life back home is tough, but so is this journey. that night we left the family sleeping in a leaky warehouse in another village, only

a tiny bit further on the long walk. no, john, home and out. is it a swindler to sudan? now where it's military chief ignored a warning from the u. s. not to him, paid the work of the civilian administration, just hours before launching a curve according to us media. washington's envoy, the horn of africa, visited cartoon early this week before sedans and military power into the government. jeffrey feldman has reportedly told general abdel alabama han to de escalate the domestic situation. there's also been increasing pressure on sedans, military to release detained. civilian ladies on friday, general han spoke about the future of our prime minister of della hum dogs. so we will elect a prime minister from among independent figures and negotiations are already underway. as we speak, we have not given up on him doc. we sent delegates to negotiate with him to resume

or debating that in parliament. the kidnapping of american and canadian mission raising haiti has captured the world's attention. and there's still no word on, they say. nearly 2 weeks on the wife of abductions, in recent months, left people traumatized across the country. reynold spoke to one victim and a warning some view as may find his report. disturbing. she is a 15 year old girl. the only child of a family that is far from wealthy, but that didn't stop kidnappers from grabbing her off the street last month on her way home from school. she asked us not to show her face or use her real name. you. they took me and blindfolded me and put me in a car. i don't know where they took me. then they raped me. i was crying and calling out for my mom, and i could hear other children crying to her mother who also asked us to conceal

her identity, sold all her possessions and scrape together the equivalent of 2000 us dollars to pay her daughters ransom went visiting artesia i feel good because they didn't kill ha, i was glad i could see her and get her back. then with the i'll pull, i me. mother and daughter are now destitute. living in a safe house run by a private organization that helps battered and abused women and girls. a near total breakdown of law and order has left many haitians at the mercy of criminal groups who use kidnapping to make easy money. women and girls are particularly vulnerable . honestly, there's no place that i can quite like. stick your place in haiti right now. everywhere is unsecured, thought. ingles, a woman, aid workers say some victims die in captivity and there remains are never found. others are too deeply traumatized to go on. i heard some case that human all girls

that had it has been kicked, not they kill themself. few, if any of these crimes are ever solved according to a haitian human rights research organization, nearly 800 people have been kidnapped since the beginning of this year. mary is now receiving medical and psychological treatment. oh good. we need security in the country. a lot of young women and men are being kidnapped now. she is one of many victims in a country living in fear. rob reynolds al jazeera, puerto prince beach is on the japanese. ok, now i'll ended being overwhelmed by vast tides of floating ms. stone, the pilot has damaged ports and fishing boats and farmed fish have died as a result of swallowing. the stones, the pebbles has come from an underwater volcano, nearly 1500 kilometers away. japan's government has designated

a natural disaster on giving you some data. i thought it was exciting how pumice from a volcanic eruption in august reached all the way to the western shore of okinawa, but after a week, the pompous had accumulated up to 50 centimeters. this is disastrous. several spaces of sturgeon are in danger of becoming extinct in georgia. the fisher facing threats from man made dams, robin forest walker reports from the river. if you could travel back through the midst of time, say around 200000000 years, you would find fish. remarkably like the ones swimming the present to day waters of the rio, any river 5 critically endangered species of sturgeon still spawn in the re owny. that is, they travel up stream from the black sea to lay their eggs. but upstream, numerous dams had contributed to their dressing, decline. this one is the voted ca,

hydropower cascade completed in 1987. it stopped fish from reaching spawning grounds that had existed for millennia hydropower. so very proven for sure. this charges spawning grounds are the chris. oh, and now it's only 9 kilometers. in the past, it was more of a 50 temperature to understand the threat to moon and needs more data. we said more galley is ready to help. he remembers the days when the sturgeon with large and plentiful, catching them now is illegal. but if method locals know who to call. oh yes ma'am, is letter as we keep is alive, put it to the basket and wait for to moon or all the others. they'll come take a sample and let them go. your fish are released back into the river. that's delivering results. one species thought to be extinct has been rediscovered the so

called chip sturgeon. but dna analysis also has revealed a worrying trend hybrid individuals, which can no longer reproduce. man's intervention is everywhere. here the river has been diverted to reduce seasonal flooding. the sluice gates used to be used for quite a different purpose. if close you could trap migrating sturgeon, and they could be caught far more easily. well, thanks to observe is on the ground. those kinds of big fishing events are far less common. 12 monitors now patrol and 92 kilometers, stretch of the re only last year can add his team on uncovered $22.00. incidence of poaching, including this rig of hooks designed to snag sturgeon on the river bed. they said that's in a look at one of the we are in contact with each other over the phone. we pass on

information. what is happening in our area? or if a boat goes by, i will tell the others where it went, in which direction. and we will react to that if something illegal is happening, we can stop it. the sturgeon are now better protected and better understood. but george's government once more hydropower on this river, not less, their survival still hangs in the balance. rubbing 1st year walker al jazeera on the rio river in western georgia. ah, hello, are you watching al jazeera and these are the top stories this alum you as president his met, county, and ladies and his french counterpart, a menu on my phone in rome. earlier joe biden met pope francis to discuss the climate crisis. it talks come ahead of the start of the g 20 summit. white house correspondent, kimberly healthcare is in rome with.
